As Michelle Wu seeks a second term, some fear her commitment to progressive causes has dimmed - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : She also had a virtually unprecedented amount of money -- nearly $560 million in federal COVID relief funds -- to direct toward her priorities, and spent almost half of those dollars on new affordable housing units.
55% : Under Wu, "progress is being made in Boston that I don't see" elsewhere, said Larry Chretien, executive director of Green Energy Consumers Alliance.
50% : It's a well-worn path for aspirational candidates later constrained by the practical and political limits of running a city.
49% : She also points to her investments in public health-focused initiatives to reduce violence and increase support for neighborhoods of color, including starting a summer evening event series, programming for teenagers and young adults during times when the city sees spikes in crime, guaranteeing summer jobs for eligible BPS students, and launching a new workforce development, life skills, and violence prevention program for at-risk youth and young adults.
48% : Wu did not specifically mention the Green New Deal at her reelection campaign announcement, nor in the last several State of the City addresses.
